Objetivo

Electrical steels are widely used for transformers and motors; they represent a considerable amount of trade around the world that is strongly correlated to the usual economic indexes of a country. In the present state of the economy of all countries, the decrease in power loss in electrical steels used in transformers plays an important role in energy consumption. For this reason the problem of power losses in SiFe sheets is of great interest in many electrical engineering research laboratories.The improvement in magnetic characteristics has led to recent modification of the standards in magnetic measurement of soft magnetic materials (IEC 404-3, in the process of being adopted as EN/CENELEC Standards).

Four basic objectives are aimed at by the proposed joint research:

- to develop measuring technic on magnetic materials, - to improve high performance SiFe steels, - to extend physical models of losses, - to establish and check the ability of each participant to implement measurements according to the updated standards.

Among the 6 proposers originating from 4 different countries (2 EU and 2 CCE), two proposers (EU) are internationally recognized in the field of magnetic standardization activity and the last two (CCE) are laboratories specialized in the study of magnetic materials for electrotechnical applications.

The project develops along 6 basic tasks. The planned duration is 30 months:

The different tasks overlap to ensure a smooth transition between the different phases of the project. A management structure is envisaged, where the coordinator and the local project leaders form a Management committee, which would be responsible for steering the development of the project, according to the approved work schedule. Four Management Committee meetings will be held at months 2, 12, 24 and 30. Progress Reports will be prepared at months 6, 15, 24. A Final Report (month 31) will cover and critically assess all the work done throughout the Project.
